The president of the Republic of Artsakh (Armenian: Արցախի Հանրապետության նախագահ, Russian: Президент Нагорно-Карабахской Республики) was the head of state and head of government of the de facto Republic of Artsakh.
In a constitutional referendum held in 2017, citizens of the republic voted in favor of adopting a presidential system of governance.
Arayik Harutyunyan was elected president in the 2020 Artsakhian general election.[1][2] He resigned on 1 September 2023. On 9 September 2023, Samvel Shahramanyan was elected president by Artsakh's parliament to replace Harutyunyan.[3]
Following an Azerbaijani offensive on 19 September 2023, Artsakh agreed to dissolve itself by 1 January 2024.[4]
